Neutral DPS, Effective Health, and TDO are computated for Pokémon at level 40, with perfect
IVs.
I
Neutral DPS (Damage per Second) represents how much damage a Pokémon can make in a
second. It depends on the Pokémon’s attack stat (base ATK + ATK IV)×0.7903, on the
Pokemon’s fast and charged moves and on the "Same Type Attack Bonus" (STAB, 25% damage
boost of a move when it is the same type as one of the types of the Pokémon using the move).
They define the damages and the necessary energy for realising the damages.
DPS12.5 not an attacker
12.5<DPS16 a good attacker (but privilege ATT IV = 15, and level up to 35)
DPS>16 excellent attacker
I
The Effective Health (EH) is computed via the formula:
EH = (base DEF + DEF IV)× (base HP + HP IV) ×
0.7903

900
EH25 very fragile
25<EH30 fragile but viable
30<EH35 bulky
EH>35 very bulky
I
TDO (Total Damage Output) represents how much damage a Pokémon can make before it
faints. It is computed via the formula: TDO = DPS × EH.
